c7.s3.9

The next charge on the Vijayanagar finances was in the direction of irrigation and public works. The period of the Vijayanagar supremacy was marked by the construction of tanks and lakes, and the making of large irrigation works for agricultural purposes. The kings prided themselves in undertaking and executing these great works of public utility. The allied arts of architecture, sculpture and painting also received great encouragement under them.
